Borussia Dortmund have secured their place in the UEFA Champions League with a commanding victory over Bayer Leverkusen at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday evening.
The match was a closely contested affair, but it was Dortmund who emerged victorious thanks to a double from Jadon Sancho and a goal from Erling Haaland.
Sancho opened the scoring for Dortmund just before half-time, before Haaland doubled their lead five minutes later. The German striker completed his hat-trick in the second half, making it six goals in as many games for him this season.
It was a well-deserved win for Dortmund, who have now won four consecutive matches and moved up to fourth in the Bundesliga table.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen will be disappointed with their performance against their rivals, but they will take heart from the fact that they have already qualified for the Europa League.
In other news, Bayern Munich continue to dominate proceedings in Germany, winning their game against Mainz 05 4-1. This puts them top of the league once again, ahead of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
Overall, it has been another successful weekend for Bundesliga teams, with both Dortmund and Bayern continuing to make waves in Europe. It remains to be seen whether any of these teams can maintain their form into the latter stages of the season, but there is no doubt that they are all in with a chance of success.
